Rock-N-Roll High School - **1/2
Had I seen this while I was a teenager I probably would have loved it. I'm embarrassed to admit that as much as I do like the Ramones music, I'm totally unfamiliar with most of their work, yet appreciate and understand their influence on much of the music of my teen years--hair band metal. What was I thinking?!
Joe Dante shows here the potential he proved in some of his later films (Gremlins, Innerspace, The Burbs). In my opinion, he's either a director you "get or don't get," and in the former, such as my case, he provides great entertainment.
A compilation of films viewed and reviewed (i.e., a way to put my college degree to use). Most are written long after the screening took place, so some have more notes than others. Titles in italics are films I've already seen but either screened again for a second look or they're just one of my favorites and I needed to see them again.
